Question
What is the standard proportion of upper and lower body?
Answer
The standard body proportion calculation is as follows: Height ÷ Head Length = Head-to-Body Ratio (this is what is referred to as the standard body proportion). For example, if you are 159cm tall and your head length is 20cm, then 159 (height) ÷ 20 (head length) = 7.95 (head-to-body ratio). Rounding off, you have a standard 8 head-to-body ratio! Since everyone’s skeletal structure and body shape are different, if the calculated result varies by 0.5 or less, it is still within the acceptable standard range! Standard Weight (kg) ≈ (Height - 100cm) × 0.9, or B ≈ (A - 100) × 0.91. If B is above the standard, it indicates an overweight condition; it is recommended to visit a gym or consider slimming down.
